I think you misunderstand HTMX. It’s the revival of an old class of apps in a backend agnostic way.
It’s not doing anything new, or anything that warrants a “new class of apps.”
It’s a way to build hypermedia (read: content) focused sites.
Classic sites like shopping catalogs, forums, admin front ends, blogs, etc.
It’s just jquery/liveview/turbolinks, but backend agnostic and without needing you to maintain much (or any) frontend js logic.
Once you need heavy interactivity (think google docs or figma) it stops providing much benefit.
